Drama serial “Shubhro” on Desh TV


A scene from the serial.

Based on the mega-popular character created by Humayun Ahmed, drama serial “Shubhro” will be aired on Desh TV tonight at 8:15 pm. The play has been adapted by Noumi Kamrun Bidhu from Humayun Ahmed's novels, and directed by Mosharraf Khan Badol.
The story: Though Shubhro, a young man, excels in academics, he is completely naive. His knowledge of the world is derived from the books he so avidly pores over.
Shubhro's father Motahar is a business magnate, while his mother, Jahanara is an overbearing housewife. Shubhro is the only binding factor between his parents, who shower him with love. However, this has turned him into a puppet who moves to the bidding of his parents. To escape reality, Shubhro goes inward into the world of his imagination.
And another factor that drives him to his inner world is his weak eyesight. The doctors say that he will go completely blind one day. However, the disillusioned Shubhro regards this possible handicap as an escape from the real world.
The cast includes Jayanto Chattopadhyay, Pijush Bandopadhyay, Dolly Zahur, Iresh Zaker, Salek Khan, Ayaz, Lara, Mamo, Oni and others.
